MAURER Seismic Devices MAURER Vibration Isolation

“Earthquakes are natural disasters whose feature is that Vibration isolation by MAURER prevents structures from
most ofthe human and economic losses are not due to unwanted vibrations caused by traffic loads and other
the earthquake mechanisms, but to failures in man-made disturbances as well as structure-induced noise. Likewise,
facilities, like buildings, bridges, etc., which supposedly it minimizes machine-induced structural vibrations. In both
were designed and constructed for the comfort of the cases, the structure and the machine, respectively, are
human beings.” (Fabrizio Bertero) In the middle of the elastically supported. The elastic elements are commonly
1990s, MAURER decided to invest in the establishment designed based on the modeling of the single-degree-of
of the area of Seismic Devices, which has led to its freedom system. We offer spring boxes and elastomeric
present position of worldwide leadership. MAURER Seismic isolators and a combination of both devices with dampers.
Devices can consist of various combinations of isolators,
dampers, fuse box systems and expansion joints.
